Description
Tender Slow Cooker Corned Beef with Savory Veggies Delight
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb corned beef brisket (Look for one with a spice packet for a burst of flavor.)
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth (Using low-sodium helps control salt levels without sacrificing flavor.)
- 1 large yellow onion (Adds sweetness and depth to the dish.)
- 2 medium carrots (Provides a hint of earthiness.)
- 12 small red potatoes (Perfect for absorbing all the savory juices.)
- 1/2 head green cabbage (Adds a wonderful crunch and sweetness to balance the meal.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brisket: Unwrap the corned beef and place it fat side up in your slow cooker. Generously sprinkle the included spice packet over the top, enhancing the flavor of your tender meat.
- Add the Broth: Pour the low-sodium beef broth over and around the brisket. Ensure that it covers most of the meat, then cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Incorporate the Veggies: After 5 hours, add the chopped onions, carrots, and halved red potatoes. This hearty combination will cook nicely alongside the brisket. Cover and continue cooking on low for 1 hour.
- Finish with Cabbage: Gently add the cabbage wedges on top of the cooked vegetables. Cover again and let it cook on low for an additional 2 hours. This will result in perfectly wilted cabbage that complements your corned beef.
- Slice and Serve: Once everything is tender, carefully transfer the corned beef to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Platter Up: Use a slotted spoon to retrieve the vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter alongside the sliced corned beef.
